New Family of Ethernet Switches Provides the Industry’s Most Complete Time Sensitive Networking Feature Set
Microchip’s SparX-5i family of Ethernet switches enables increased connectivity and network optimization while lowering costs for industrial automation networks
CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) With the support of Time Sensitive Networking (TSN), Ethernet is eliminating the need for separate Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) networks, providing a more ubiquitous approach to synchronization and precision timing for today’s industrial automation systems. However, to accomplish this, the use of multi-chip proprietary solutions has often been required, increasing both complexity and costs for developers. To help eliminate reliance on such sole-sourced, expensive and proprietary solutions for deterministic communications, Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announced its
